Pfizer board member suggests end to mask, vaccine mandates

Naw. This is an emergency, right? You don't need any of that. You just need people that are trainable enough to handle covid surges. Medical students, nurses, hell maybe even veterinarians... use your creativity.

If hospital capacity was an issue caused by covid surges, we'd have fixed it already.

Letting people not normally licensed to expand their scope and authority to practice on humans is a regulatory and legislative challenge. Healthcare workers badly need cooperation of regulators, legislators, and fiscal stakeholders of the industry to un-fuck the industry. Also capital can be better directed towards results rather than bloated administrators in a less regulatory burdened market.

And lockdowns, forced masking and vaccine passports aren’t a “regulatory and legislative challenge”? Really?

This is supposed to be an emergency, right? Give me a break. Covid specific healthcare capacity can easily be scaled up with the amount of resources we are pouring in this dumpster fire. Figure it out.
